Enchilada Sauce

From the Old Capitol Tamale Restaurant in Sacramento, thanks go to Lupe for this one.

3/4 cup salad oil
1/2 cup flour
4 tbsp Grandma's Chili Powder*
4 tbsp regular chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp crushed oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1 garlic clove, chopped
6 cups chicken broth

*Grandma's Chili Powder is a brand that has since been discontinued.  The ingredients consisted approximately of chili powder, cumin, oregano and garlic.  According to the manufacturer, this is similar. 

Cook flour, oil and seasonings over low heat until well mixed.

Gradually add chicken broth and simmer till mixture thickens, usually about 30 minutes.  It will also continue to thicken some when cool.
